The wing method

A structured infant assessment system designed to evaluate movement, breathing, oral function, and global tension patterns.

The WING Method Difference.

Babies can’t talk to us verbally, so we have to listen to their bodies. By testing ROM and tension before and after treatment, we can effectively see what is or isn’t working for them at any given moment.

Clearly communicate.

We made it easy for parents and other providers to see that what you are doing is making a difference.

Parents get it.

When parents see the difference in their babies comparing before and after treatment, they will be glad to participate in home-care recommendations.

What Is the WING Method?

The WING Method™ provides healthcare providers with a repeatable process for assessing infants and identifying functional restrictions that may contribute to:

  • Feeding challenges

  • Developmental concerns

  • Movement dysfunction

  • Tension patterns

  • Postural compensation

Assessment Areas

  • Breathing

    Evaluate diaphragm function and respiratory movement.

  • Cervical Mobility

    Assess head and neck movement patterns.

  • Trunk Function

    Evaluate spinal movement and rotational control.

  • Shoulder Function

    Assess upper extremity mobility and stability.

  • Hip Function

    Evaluate lower body mobility and movement patterns.

  • Oral Function

    Assess lip, cheek, tongue, and feeding-related function.
